About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the southwestern corner of Kansas, defining a landscape largely encompassed by the Cimarron National Grassland. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent historical layers of Morton County, most notably the path of the Santa Fe Nat Hist and the Santa Fe Nht-North Rte. These routes, along with the Companion trail, trace the legacy of 19th-century westward migration across the high plains.

Agricultural land management is clearly delineated through named grazing areas such as North Lowe Pasture, South Lowe Pasture, and Rolla Pasture. The map also details the Cimarron River Trail following the watercourse, while a rigid grid of rural corridors like N Blvd, M Blvd, and L Blvd provide access to this open, prairie terrain. It is a study in how modern conservation and historic passage coexist in the High Plains.
